Man what an 8th inning for OU..getting out of a bases loaded no outs jam, then an insurance shot. Now it’s 9-5 OU over UNC as we head into the top of the 9th.

Also, glad there are some folks here who follow and talk about the championship. I’ve followed it the past several years, but no big 12 forum exists like this to chat about it with others.

I just read that BYU played their “3rd” round on Thursday because they don’t play on sundays. Funky. I can’t seem to find that score anywhere, but after today’s bad round it may not matter.

You can’t win on in day one, but you can lose it. I feel good about my Sooners; we bought us some wiggle room to help us make the top 8.

I looked this up once, and it actually has to do with the fact that those roads were tolls before the interstate system existed. When they created it, they overlayed some highways on the existing toll roads & allowed them to continue to be tolls. Below is an AI explanation that goes into a bit more detail.
- - -
When the Interstate Highway System was created in 1956 under President Eisenhower’s Federal-Aid Highway Act, the idea was to build a network of free, high-speed highways across the U.S. But many toll roads already existed — especially in the Northeast, Midwest, and parts of the South.
Rather than tearing up or bypassing these roads, the government decided:
Already-existing toll roads could be incorporated into the new Interstate System.
This allowed states to avoid duplicating infrastructure, and the tolls were permitted to remain. These roads had often been built in the 1940s or early 1950s, before the federal program existed, and were funded by state bonds and tolls — not federal dollars.

Football - 80%
If Michigan can win one in this era then so can we. We are one of 20 teams that will win it any given year. Just need the chips to line up in our favor coaching wise.
Basketball - 15%
made two final fours in my lifetime, 6 overall. We will go on another run, but will we win it?
Baseball - 20%
We almost won it two years ago with a 2 seed level roster. im confident we can go on another run or two before I die.

I don’t know why we don’t we pitch cam Johnson anymore. Is he hurt? He has to be better than what we’ve been rolling out in game 2 on weekends.

…how do you forget he is their coach? Outside of gundy he’s probably the most recognizable coach on campus. Been there a decade plus with a WS appearance.

I nominate McCurtain county, Oklahoma. Things got pretty crazy down there with county officials, and everyone I know from there (just a few) say it's a swamp.

former county commissioner Mark Jennings, and investigator Alicia Manning allegedly making racist and threatening comments. They allegedly talked about killing the reporter and his dad, made fun of a fire victim, and discussed lynching.

today's OU attendance at L. Dale Mitchell Park was 3,425, doesn't include the fans on the berm in left field. Not the biggest park in the world by any means, but that is more than capacity and the largest crowd of the year so far.

damn, looks like our new track coach has turned things around fast. Here is to hoping we can keep him.

OU has steamrolled the competition for years, and that includes the SEC's best. The only way this program struggles with Gasso at the helm is if you redefine the word.

I did a bit of digging into the whole "is he married, is he engaged" thing. And while I couldn't confirm a fiance, I did notice that all of his previous bio's listed his wife and children as his family. Meanwhile, at tOSU it only lists his children.
So this opens up the possibility that there actually is a fiance in Oklahoma he is trying to get closer too. we will see.

I'm glad we kept this guy. I hope letting those other two wide receivers go doesn't bite us this year if we keep losing players to the portal.
re: Tell me about going to Norman
Posted by sooneralum2012 on 12/3/24 at 10:58 am
Not that staying in OKC is bad since it's so close, but book your hotel early if you want to stay in Norman.
If you want something chill, you can look into staying here. It's actually a monster conference center used by the postal service but they have a hotel.
LINK /
Embassy suites in Norman is usually where the opposing team stays. There is also a new hotel right next to campus called NOUN that I would love to stay at some day, and is in walking distance to a bunch of stuff.
Food wise, you can't go wrong with tuckers onion burger in north Norman or hideaway pizza on campus corner, which is a commercial district next to the noun hotel, and is where most of the pregame activities will take place.
